The Jessup Moot Court is the world’s largest moot
court competition, with participants from over 550 law schools in more than 80 countries.
The Competition is a simulation of a fictional dispute between States before
the International Court of Justice.

As every year, the Walther Schücking Institute for
International Law at Kiel University coaches a team of five student members,
who are enthusiastic to present their claims to the Court. Amongst other
questions, this year’s Competition deals – highly topical in light of the
ongoing crisis in Ukraine – with issues raised by the secession of a province
from one State and its annexation by another State.
